Archos G9 multiboot (SDE required)

Thanks to sirduke989 on XDA, we finally have a multiboot on Archos G9 tablets. This smart piece of code will let you select the system image you want to boot on. Up to 10 images can appear in the boot menu.

Prepare your system images

Install the multiboot

Connect your tablet to your computer thru the USB cable
Download the multiboot files (initramfs.cpio.lzo and zImage) on your computer.dmenu-0.3a.zip (4shared.com)
For convenience, we have storage a local copy on our server (it may be not the latest update) :dmenu-0.3a.zip

Select Recovery System in the menu. Use Volume +, Volume – hardware buttons on the tablet for Up/Down navigation, use Power button for confirmation.

Select Developer Edition Menu

Finally, select Flash Kernel and initramfs option in the menu.
Your computer should now mount a new drive from the tablet and you should be able to copy initramfs.cpio.lzo and zImage files from the computer. Press power button on the tablet when you are done copying.

The tablet will flash the multiboot and you are now able to select the system image on your Archos G9 😉
